If in the first month of spring the governmental proceedings proper to summer were carried out,
the rain would fall unseasonably,
plants and trees would decay prematurely,
and the states would be kept in continual fear.
If the proceedings proper to autumn were carried out, there would be great pestilence among the people;
boisterous winds would work their violence; rain would descend in torrents;
orach, fescue, darnel, and southernwood would grow up together.
If the proceedings proper to winter were carried out, pools of water would produce their destructive effects,
snow and frost would prove very injurious,
and the first sown seeds would not enter the ground.
